HEY folks im working on a new game, its about shooting chickens with a gun...but my gun has a problem..it wont shoot bullets so i cant call it a gun yet.. anyway its a simple problem which i cant seem to do. iam tryin to make the bullets shoot as the same position and direction that the gun is facing, im using 360 degree movement for my gun and thats the main reason why iam having trouble with it. any help would be very helpful for me.
Hey there - just took a look, just make sure you select the "Action Point" in the Animation editor of the gun barrel and ensure it is positioned at the point of which the bullet emerges (i.e. at the end of the gun barrel)
At the moment it is somewhere behind and below the base of the gun barrel, when looking at it when it's facing right
@marko- hey thanks for the hint that helped me alot i never even knew what those action points was all about till now

If you do want to keep to just 32 directions - coz sometimes it's better to - then you can smooth the graphics out when rotating and remove all the messy "jagged" lines you get by adding the following bit of code in the Event Editor:
